- In the case of ties, the appropriate points for the tied athletes will be added and divided by the number of tied athletes. Example 4 athletes tie for 4th place in a 10 athlete field. Therefore each athlete will receive (7+6+5+4)/4 = 5.5 points.
- If an athlete is fails to do any part of an event they will receive 0 points for that event.
-In the medley, the athlete will only get credit for the portion of the medley that they complete. With a time for each completion.
